Master Actor Makes His Entrance

Zhao Wuji stared at the figure before him in disbelief, his heart plunging into an icy abyss. For a moment, his mind went completely blank.

He could not understand why the king of the forest had come to the outskirts. Did they have something here that could attract it?

But there was no longer time to think about that. Seeing the Titan Giant Ape drawing closer and closer, Zhao Wuji could only hurriedly give the order.

"Go! All of you, go! Gu Yi! Take them and leave! You must ensure their safety!" Zhao Wuji practically roared as he commanded Gu Yi beside him.

At the same time, he stepped several paces forward toward the Titan Giant Ape. Staring nervously at the king before him, he respectfully said, "Honorable King of the Forest, we mean no offense. If this is your territory, we are willing to leave immediately."

The Titan Giant Ape possessed extremely high intelligence. Zhao Wuji knew it could understand human speech, so he tried to communicate with it.

But it ignored him. Its mountain-like body took another step forward. Though it was only one step, it had already drawn incredibly close to them.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji was in utter turmoil. What should he do? Against an opponent of this level, even protecting himself was a problem, let alone shielding these students while retreating.

His instinct for survival constantly urged his legs to run, but he knew full well that he could not retreat even half a step. Behind him stood the hope of the Soul Master world—his students!

With that thought, Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth. The four soul rings around him lit up at once. Gravity Enhancement and Gravity Compression simultaneously restrained the Titan Giant Ape's movements, while the Immovable Bright King Body protected him. Kicking off with both feet, he unleashed the Vajra Palm at the Titan Giant Ape.

He had made up his mind. Even if he died, he would buy these students time to escape!

But how could Gu Yi leave? He knew full well that this "master actor," the Titan Giant Ape, had only come to take a look at Xiao Wu and catch up with her. As long as they did not provoke it, it could not be bothered to kill them.

Besides, he had waited so long for this moment. At last, he could act alongside this "master actor"!

Gu Yi put on a resolute expression and turned to the others. "You go first! I'm staying to help Teacher Zhao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Bone Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind him. Without looking back, he charged straight at the Titan Giant Ape!

At that moment, his figure appeared so great in everyone's eyes, just like Zhao Wuji's.

"I'm staying too! You all go!"

Suddenly, Dai Mubai spoke up as well.

He immediately activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Protective Barrier before charging forward too.

This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! With the Titan Giant Ape here, Gu Yi would definitely die!

With the Beast Attracting Powder on him, it would surely focus all of its attention on Gu Yi. Not only would that guarantee Gu Yi's death, it would also buy Zhao Wuji and himself time to escape.

Perfect! Dai Mubai practically admired his own ingenious brain!

But before he could rejoice for long, another figure had already rushed ahead of him. It was Zhu Zhuqing!

If Gu Yi had not left, how could she abandon him and go?

If Gu Yi wanted to fight, then she would fight alongside him!

"Seven Treasures: First, Strength! Second, Speed!"

Suddenly, everyone present received a thirty-percent boost to their attributes, including Zhao Wuji. At that instant, the Soul Power within his body surged to the eighty-something rank.

Since none of them were leaving, Ning Rongrong did not intend to leave either. If she left now, would that not make her seem inferior to them?

Over the past few days, she had done her best to restrain her temper and gradually fit into this team. If something went wrong at this moment, would she not have endured all that for nothing?

And since none of them had left, how could the others leave?

Xiao Wu saw through the Titan Giant Ape's purpose at a glance, so she had to cooperate with it now. Since Xiao Wu was not leaving, how could Tang San leave?

As for Oscar, there was no need to mention him. As a Food-Type Soul Master, leaving alone was not much different from dying right now.

For a moment, everyone stayed behind!

After receiving Ning Rongrong's boost, Zhao Wuji slammed both palms into the Titan Giant Ape's head, knocking its entire body upward.

Gu Yi released dozens of highly penetrating bone spikes from around his body, shooting them toward the Titan Giant Ape's chest.

Dai Mubai, meanwhile, frantically moved closer to Gu Yi. While feigning attacks, he searched for an opportunity to sprinkle the Beast Attracting Powder onto him.

Zhu Zhuqing leaped back and forth among the giant trees around them, seeking an opening to strike.

Blue Silver Grass surged wildly from Tang San's hands. The terrifying vines instantly crawled over the Titan Giant Ape's entire body, as Tang San tried to use them to restrict its movements.

But Gu Yi understood that all of this was futile. How could they possibly contend against the power of the King of the Forest?

Of course, unless he used the Titled Douluo Experience Card that had been stored in the System Backpack all this time.

But now was not the time. He had to wait a little longer—and it was about to get angry.

Just as Gu Yi thought this, the Titan Giant Ape let out a sky-shaking roar. An invisible blast of air exploded from its body and spread outward.

In an instant, it shattered all the Blue Silver Grass covering its body and sent Zhao Wuji, Gu Yi, and the others flying.

A flicker of furious fire flashed through its eyes. The next second, its body abruptly leaped into the air, and its mountain-like frame lunged down at them!

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Wuji roared urgently!

He nearly burst forth at his maximum speed, dragging Oscar and Ma Hongjun away with him.

Tang San locked onto Xiao Wu's position. Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track combined with Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and in an instant he swept Xiao Wu into his arms and fled outward at top speed.

As for Gu Yi, he immediately locked onto Zhu Zhuqing, who had been thrown away. His body flickered, and he caught her in an instant before blinking away with her.

"Save me!"

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's cry rang out beside Gu Yi's ear.

Ning Rongrong seemed to have been forgotten. She was still within the central area of the Titan Giant Ape's attack.

Like an ant on a hot pan, she was frantic with panic, yet completely helpless!

Gu Yi gave her a cold glance, without a single thought of saving her. She had treated the original owner that way before. If he saved her now, he would be doing a disservice to what the original owner had suffered.

"Save her."

But suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing spoke from his arms.

She had noticed the helpless Ning Rongrong as well. Cold on the outside but warm-hearted by nature, she could not bear to watch the other girl die before her.

Though she disliked Ning Rongrong and they had argued before, they were classmates in the end. She did not hate her enough to want her dead.

Gu Yi met Zhu Zhuqing's gaze for half a second, inwardly helpless. His body flickered three times in rapid succession, and he finally carried them both out of the Titan Giant Ape's attack range.

If refusing to save her caused his image in Zhu Zhuqing's heart to decline, it would not be worth the loss.

Bang!

The next second, the Titan Giant Ape's body crashed down. The resulting blast of air once again forced everyone back several meters.

But one person was different. As though she had received special treatment, Xiao Wu was violently thrown into the air and caught in the Titan Giant Ape's grasp.

"No! Xiao Wu—"

At the sight, Tang San's eyes instantly turned red. Several streaks of white light flashed from his hand, shooting straight toward the Titan Giant Ape's eyes!

At the same time, his figure flickered continuously as he rapidly closed in on the Titan Giant Ape.

"Stay here and don't move. I'm going to help him!" Gu Yi placed the two girls aside, gave Zhu Zhuqing an instruction, and instantly vanished from where he stood.

Now was the true test of his acting skills. He absolutely could not miss it!
